Cancel the transaction
The payment can be cancelled within the agreed cancellable period, which is from the time when the transaction is initiated to 00:15 UTC+8 of T+1 day, in regardless of the payment status.
The ACQP can call the cancelPayment interface to cancel a payment in one of the following scenarios:
- The merchant/ACQP cannot receive the payment result from Alipay+ for a long time, or cannot obtain the payment result via the inquiryPayment interface.
- The transaction is not completed after exceeding the maximum number of inquiries.
The following figure illustrates the flow of payment cancellation initiated by the ACQP:
Figure 2. Payment cancellation flow initiated by the ACQP
The payment cancellation initiated by the ACQP contains the following steps:
- The ACQP submits the cancellation request to Alipay+ (step 1).
- Alipay+ returns the cancellation result to the ACQP (step 1.1).
Processing logic
- The cancel request only works on the payment, cannot be used on refund.
- After you request a cancelation, you cannot change the order status to status other than cancelled. If payment notification comes later than the cancellation response, the ACQP handles the payment result based on the cancellation response. If the cancellation fails, you need to retry the cancelPayment request until the cancellation succeeds.
- You might receive different results from Alipay+, follow instructions below to handle the result:
result.resultStatus | result.resultCode | Cancellation status | Further Actions |
S | SUCCESS | Cancellation succeeds | The merchant can reinitiate a payment request. |
F | ... | Cancellation fails | Take actions according to the error message in result.resultCode. Note: If the result.resultCode value returns as
|
U | ... | Unknown | Use the same parameter to retry the cancelPayment request.
|
No result received after trying several times | Unknown | Contact connect_support@service.alipay.com. |
